An overview of atmospheric carriers for launching satellites into Earth's orbit
Bačová, Alena ; Petrásek, Miloslav (referee) ; Daněk, Vladimír (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis is dealing with an overview of aircrafts designed as a launch platform for an air launch of satellite into the low Earth orbit. The thesis is divided into four main parts. The first part describes main principles of reaction engine and its two types of engines. The second part provides an overview of aircrafts as launch platform in the USA. The third part deals with these launch platforms in the former SSSR. The fourth part is devoted to aircrafts as launch platform in the Europe.

Flying atmospheric carrier for rocket launches
Musil, Tomáš ; Mašek, Jakub (referee) ; Daněk, Vladimír (advisor)
The main objective of this thesis is to introduce the reader to the problematics of air-launch and to a custom design solution applying this concept. The specifics of this method of bringing a payload into orbit are described and explained. Overview of projects which use aircraft to launch spacecraft is included. Determination of primary parameters of a launch vehicle designed to carry a payload of a specified mass is conducted. The required flight performance has been estimated, a computational model has been developed in software MATLAB, and a multidisciplinary optimization of the design parameters has been performed using a genetic algorithm optimization method. Parameters of the designed air-launched rocket are compared with those of a ground-launched rocket. According to the specific criteria, the Airbus A310-300 aircraft was selected as the most suitable transport aircraft to be used for launching the designed launch vehicle. The last part of the thesis is devoted to the proposal of necessary modifications and estimation of the flight performance.
